How to make a submission form and visualization natively?

Is this possible? I'm trying to make an app that is primarily a vehicle for a user submission, local storage of the results, and subsequent visualization of the data. Thats it. Any thoughts? I've already been messing around with web based databases, and the results aren't bad, but im curious if I can just do it locally, without too much coding craziness. T

Hi in NY. I know exactly what you mean. There are a few differnet ways to look at this. Because lots of the data that originates from the web (your server) ends up cached and saved on the device, it's tough sometimes to communicate clearly about 'whats native data and what's not' - I think you know what I mean. With that said, there is no doubt that creating content, content that originates FROM the device isn't something BT supports yet. We may or may not be able to pull this off. BT today is primarily a content managemenet cool (CMS) for iOS and Android. And as such, it's not too good at helping folks go the other way with data - phone to server. Not sure if this makes any sense? If you're looking to create data on the phone, store it locally, then send-it somehwere at a later time, you'll really really need to dig deep into iOS and get an understanding of how you can do it. Not trying to dicourage you, just the way it is. Mobile databases are complicated - period.
